From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: Specifying /dev/<device name> fails, although if you end up choosing the devices by hand, you're presented with a list in which device names all start with /dev/. It would be consistent for anaconda to accept (and discard, if appropriate), the /dev/ prefix in device names. I get the impression that anaconda also fails if --dir= starts with a slash. I had that as well as /dev/hda2 in my kickstart file but, after that failed and I chose /dev/hda2 from the list presented to me by anaconda, it still failed to mount. Before realizing the slash might be a problem, I changed the kickstart file to --partition=hda2, and removed the slash from --dir as well, so I'm not sure about this problem. It could also be that it rejected a pathname such as --dir=/foo/bar; after moving the isos from foo/bar to foo, and changing the kickstart file to say --dir=foo, it worked. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-9.92-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.set up a kickstart file with harddrive --dir=/foo/bar --partition=/dev/hda2 Actual Results: It won't mount /dev/hda2, but rather fail ot mount /dev//dev/hda2. After selecting /dev/hda2 in the list of options, it will still fail to find the isos. Expected Results: Ideally, same as --dir=foo/bar --partition=hda2 Additional info:
Fixed in CVS
Confirmed, --partition=/dev/hda2 works in re1001.0, thanks!
